Month: March 2016

During September and the early part of October, 2016, I will be facilitating group discussions in Southern California on very uncommonly expressed perspectives on living life more powerfully. The point is spiritual empowerment, not the kind that has to do with how much money you have in the bank, how many sexual partners or how much stuff you have so that you can impress other people or feel artificially better about yourself. I’m calling it “Ways of Discovering the True Power Within YourSelf.” We will discuss how you feel about these very non-mainstream ideas. All participants will receive an inspirational mini-poster/card and a concise Transformanifesto one-page doc that covers the main points discussed. If you would like to host one of these groups, just use the form below to set up a phone time to discuss it with me.
